Title: Improvements in Controller Regulators for Electric Motors.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
IPC: H01H3/04
Filed: 1910-06-28
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 15,548. Thompson, W. P., [Porter, J. Y.]. June 28. Controllers, actuating and retarding mechanism for.-A controller regulator which allows the controller handle to be moved only intermittently or slowly is constructed by arranging a disk 4 on the controller shaft 3 in such a way that the operating-handle engages and moves both units together, for instance, by making the handle prismatic and providing a slot 6<a> for the handle in the boss 5 attached to the disk. The disk is provided with stop posts 8 and camsurfaces 10; and, pivoted on a shaft 15 secured in the fixed cover 2, is a pawl 12. This pawl hangs normally in the position shown in Fig. 6, and is controlled by a sub-pawl 17, which hangs loosely from the projections 20, 21 in a slot in the fixed pawl, and is prevented from rising right out of the slot by the pin 15. As the disk turns under the pawl 12, one of the cam-surfaces 10 engages with the lug 18 on the sub-pawl, and causes the heavier end 13 of the pawl to rise and throw the end 16 into engagement with a stop post. The lug 18 riding over the cam-surface 10, the sub-pawl can drop down on the other side of the cam immediately the nose 16 has engaged the stop post; by moving slowly, however, the end 16 lifts and allows the plate to rotate, but if the handle be moved fast, the disk is stopped, and to free it, the operator has to turn the handle slightly back, which allows the pawl to drop and free the drum. The stop action may be repeated at each stop post by making the post with two engaging faces as at 8<a>, or by notching the cam post as at 10<a>. The cams and posts are preferably arranged in two divisions, one for series, and the other for multiple running.

Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 676. Garlanda, E. Jan. 10. Back spacing mechanism. - Relates to arrangements wherein the back - space wheel 11. and the escapement - wheel 3, controlled through fast and loose dogs 5, 6 on a rocker 4, are mounted on the same shaft 2 which is geared to the feed-rack by a pinion 1, the wheel 11 being secured on the shaft, and the wheel 3 being coupled to the shaft by a ratchet-clutch 13, 16. When the carriage is back-spaced, the clutch slips, but owing to friction with the wheel 11 and the pressure of the loose-dog spring, the wheel 3 may be rotated backwards, so that, when the back-space key is released, the carriage-spring causes the wheel 3 to move the loose dog violently backwards. To minimize this action, a detent is usually provided for the wheel 3, and the present invention consists in arranging the detent to bear continuously on the wheel 3 so as to prevent the action entirely. In the arrangement shown, the detent 17 is pivoted at 18 and provided with a weighted tail 19 which holds the detent in constant engagement with the wheel 3. The back-space wheel 11 may be operated by the engagement of a hook 12 with pins on the face of the wheel.

Title: Improvements in Folding or Plaiting Devices for use in connection with Machines Employed in the Cutting of Pile Fabrics or for similar purposes.
Inventor: KAY JOHN
IPC: B65H45/101
Filed: 1910-03-19
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 2863. Kay, J. March 19, 1910. Cuttling.-Lengths of fabric, more especially in pile-cutting machines, are folded by means of two eccentrically-mounted cylinders, so that they occupy little space, and are fed forward in the machine in such a manner that the firstformed folds are first carried away. The invention is described with reference to pilecutting machines, the series of rollers in the upper part being arranged as described in Specification 6927/10, [Class 42 (i), Fabrics, Finishing &c.]. The fabric passes from rollers x, y between eccentrically - mounted cylinders a, b mounted on geared shafts a<1>, b<1> driven by a chain from the main shaft c. It is thus folded on to boards g, g<1> over the rod g<8>. The board g is oscillated from the shaft b, through a chain-driven disk k, a crank-pin k<1>, and a link k<2> attached to one end of a lever k<3> pivoted on the shaft k<5>. The other end of the lever k<3> is attached through a link k<4> to a slotted plate g<4> attached to the board g. The board g is connected to the board g<1> by a pivoted bell-crank lever g<4> and a link g<3>, and by a link g<6> in such a way that the board g<1> is moved approximately in a vertical direction. The folds formed are thus lifted and pulled over the rod g<8> to fall on to a brattice m from which they are carried by a lower brattice m<1> back to the rear of the machine, from which the fabric passes between the rollers x<l>, y<1>. The brattices m, m<1> are mounted on rollers of which the end rollers m<2>, o<1> are driven by gearing from a pawl n on the lever k<3> and a ratchetwheel n<1> on the shaft k<5>.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Observation Towers.
Inventor: STOETZEL JOSEPH JOHN
IPC: A63G31/00
Filed: 1911-04-25
Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 9984. Stoetzel, J. J. April 25. Lifts.-In an amusement device, a car is raised in the interior of a tower by the pressure of the column of air below the car. The tower consists of a series of upright frame members 2 the spaces between which are filled with sheets 5 of glass tightly secured in place. The tower thus forms a transparent airtight cylinder. The car 17 is secured on the upper end of a shaft which is mounted in bearings on a platform 12 supported by another platform 9, which acts as a piston. The car is rotated by a motor 13 mounted on the platform 12. By admitting air under pressure below the piston, the car may be raised or lowered, and as it rotates, the passengers can view the surrounding country through the glass sides. The air is compressed by a blower 23, and, after passing a regulating-cylinder 26, it passes into the tower through ports 22. Within the regulating-cylinder 26, Fig. 6, are two pistons 30, 31 rigidly connected by a pistonrod 32, which passes through the head of the cylinder and is connected to a hand-lever. The piston 30 can be moved to cover or uncover a row of ports 29 connecting the cylinder with the pipe 28 leading to the tower. The piston 31 prevents air from escaping from the cylinder when the piston 30 covers the ports 29. Thus, by moving the rod 32, the pipe 28 can be put into communication either with the air supply or with the atmosphere and the car raised or lowered accordingly. The entrances 38, Fig. 2, to the tower are closed by hinged doors 39 which are closed by the air pressure and are opened by being engaged by the car. Should the car accidently descend at too great a speed, air is trapped between the piston and the base chamber of the tower, which thus acts as a dash-pot and breaks the fall of the car.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Stapling Machines.
Inventor: TIMSON ARTHUR RICHARDSON
IPC: A43D69/04
Filed: 1910-09-23
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 14,868. Timson, A. R., Bullock, C. W., and Barber, C. S. Sept. 23. Stapling.-A stapling-machine as described in Specification 22,112/10 has a cutter provided with three cutting-edges. The end of the wire from which the staple is to be formed is fed through a passage 13 in a guide 3. The end of the guide has an extension 16, through which the passage 13 makes a groove exposing the wire. The upper face of the extension is bevelled so that, as the cutter descends in contact with the guide, it shears off the exposed portion of the wire, leaving an inclined end 17, Fig. 1, on the wire, and forming a similarly bevelled end 18 on the cut-off part. The cutter 7 is formed with three shearing-edges 30, 31, 32, the edges 31, 32 forming transverse shoulders on the wire, and the edge 30 forming a longitudinal bevelled part. A rib 33 on the cutter turns down the cut-off piece over an anvil to form the short end of a staple, while the other end is turned down by a staple former. The staple former and cutter may each be carried by the same reciprocating slide, and the cutter may be furnished with a shoulder which fits against a corresponding part of the carrier slide to prevent any upward movement during the shearing operation.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Recording Music.
Inventor: NYSTROEM CARL WILHELM
Filed: 1911-09-30
Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 21,594. Nystr÷m, C. W. Sept. 30. Tune-sheets. - Relates to apparatus of the kind described in Specification 7949/09 for making tune-sheets &c., in which each note is represented by two or more grooves and in which the distances between the initial positions of these grooves is determined by the loudness of note recorded. The invention consists in an arrangement whereby the pair of contacts, that first enters into action upon the corresponding key of the musical instrument being depressed is opened when the second pair of contacts is closed. The pairs of contacts consist of pivoted members 1, 2 and contact plates 3, 4, all being mounted on a frame 5 carried by a spindle 6. The frame 5 is provided with an angular plate 15 which, under the action of a spring 11, is adapted to bear on a boss 9 on the key spindle 10. The members 1, 2 are provided with arms 13, 14 which, under the action of springs 26 bear on a boss 12 of the spindle 10. The spindles 6 are suitably locked in their normal position, and when the spindle 10 is lowered consequent on the depression of a key lever 19, the members 1, 2 swing towards their respective contact plates, the plate 1 first making contact and actuating the first cutting- tool. At the moment of the second contact, the first contact is broken by the engagement with a bevelled arm 22 on the member 1 of a conical boss 20 on the key spindle 10. The boss 20 is supported on the spindle 10 by a weak spring 21 which allows the spindle 10 to rise almost to its highest position before the boss 20 disengages itself from the arm 22. In a modification, each pair of contact members consists of contact springs 30, 32 and 30, 31, respectively. When a key is depressed, the member 1 swings down as before with the key spindle, and owing to the particular shape of the projections 33, 34 of the member 1, the contact springs 30, 32 are allowed to close. Further movement of the member 1 allows the contacts 30, 31 to close and removes a projection 38 on a pivoted arm 36 from engagement with a projection 40 on the spring 32, thereby allowing this spring through its own resiliency to break contact with the spring 30. A modification is described in which the outer springs 30, 32 are replaced by double springs, the whole working substantially as in the prior modification. In a further modification employing the latter system of contact springs, the parts are so arranged that the opening of the first contact members takes place as soon as the member I moves upwards on the release of the key.

Abstract: 4974. Joel, H. F. Feb. 28. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Reel and endless-web apparatus; moving and changing apparatus.-An apparatus for exhibiting advertisements, pictures, &c. has the period of rest between the cycles of operation controlled by an electro-thermostat. A motor C shown in action drives a worm-wheel F on the shaft of one of the drums of a reel-and-web apparatus, so that a pin F' urges a lever A against the action of a spring A<2> and breaks the contact B. While the contact A, B is complete, a current flows through the coils J, and the heated compound bar J<4> holds its head J<2> away from the contact J<3>. When the contact A, B is broken, the compound bar cools until the contact J<2>, J<3> is made and the motor circuit is thereby completed. The contact A, B is soon re-made, and the operation repeated as before. A clock may control a switch for cutting-off the current from motor or lamps for any desired period of time. Lamps K, K may be lit up when the lever A falls upon the contact K<1>. If the current through the motor gets too strong, the coil J heats up the bar until the contact J<2>, J<5> is made, and the short-circuit produced blows the fuse E<1>. The thermostat may be arranged to complete the by-pass circuit to the motor on becoming sufficiently warm instead of on cooling. According to the Provisional Specification, the motor may drive through a friction clutch, and may have a brake to assist in stopping it periodically.

Abstract: 12,202. Birmingham Small Arms Co., and Phillips, H. M. May 23. Motor-starting devices, applications of; transmission gear of invariable ratio.- Comprises a kick-starter for motor-cycles &c., in which a pedal mounted on a countershaft rotates the engine shaft at an increased rate through an epicyclic train, the countershaft being connected to the engine shaft through a oneway friction clutch. The drive is transmitted from the engine to the road wheel by chains and chain-wheels 13, 14, which are mounted on one end of a shaft 1 carried in the bottom bracket 3 by an eccentric bush 2 for chain adjustment. The sun-wheel 4 of an epicyclic train is formed or mounted on the other end of the shaft 1 and gears with planet pinions 5, which are carried by the bush 2 and mesh with an internally-toothed annulus 6 connected to a crank 7 through ratchet teeth 17. When the crank 7 is sharply depressed, the shaft 1 is rotated forwardly at an increased speed and drives the chain-wheels, and therefore the engine shaft through a screw-thread 10 and a clutch cone 11. The road wheel is previously freed from its driving-gear by means of the clutch contained therein. A coiled spring raises the crank again until it engages first with an inclined surface 15<a>, which disengages the ratchet gear between the crank and the annulus, and finally with a stop 15, In a modification, the annulus is fixed and the planetpinions are carried by the crank, which is rotated in a forward direction.
